Kilby Block Party Delivers on its Indie Music Promise

Have you ever seen yourself out of the corner of your eye? It's disorienting. This happened to me during Turnstile's headlining set on the first night of Kilby Block Party, the indie-ish Salt Lake City music festival that lives up to its word-of-mouth reputation. These days, a Turnstile live show is a production, one befitting a real-deal festival headliner. The people in the band are all charismatic human whirlwinds who carry themselves like athletes, but they know that they're not the real show. The real show is the crowd — the roiling oceans of people that go the fuck off whenever Turnstile touch the stage.
